Hi Simon,
thank you for your answer, I just wanted to make clear a personal doubt.
I think that maybe, as you already said, the great problem here is 
become accustomed with the new behavior. Many people like me are not 
used to it, yet and maybe it's because they feel it annoying. By the way 
I usually save in Gimp native format when I think I'll have to work on 
an image later. I've to begin to remember to export it in my favorite 
format when the work is done.
Well yes, this discussion is not the more productive ever, also maybe 
some recent comments were a little too concise. But I guess this 
sometimes happens
Best regards
Alessia
